Duffus, William farmer, is a native of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where he
was born October 8, 1829. His parents were James and Margaret (Allan)
Duffus, to whom were born three children, William being the second. The
subject of our sketch has always been a tiller of the soil, and in 1851 he
emigrated to Ontario, and shortly after to Racine county, Wisconsin. After
farming here two years he came farther west, and soon settled on the farm
he now occupies. October 15, 1868, he wedded Ann Wilson, a native of
Banffshire. Two children have been the fruit of this union, viz: Margaret
A. and John A. Mr. Duffus and wife belong to the Presbyterian church. He
is a republican. His farm of one hundred and sixty acres is among the best
on the prairie. He is a genial, hospitable gentleman, and a credit to the
community where he has so long resided.
